Agriculture
The soil is good, and very fertile. The old farmers looked well after it, ploughing in manure on a regular basis, and allowing fields to lie fallow as part of a good system of crop rotation. However, the intense advertising efforts of the agrochemicals industry have resulted in a current unhealthy reliance on nitrogen fertilisers.

The farming year starts around February, whenever the ground dries out enough after the winter rains to allow ploughing to begin. Much of the ploughing is still done with Oxen.

The most common festival celebrated here include Eid-ul-Fitra, Holi, Eid-ul-Azha, Diwali, Shab-e-baraat, Rakshabandhan, Muharram, Chhath, and Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi.
